They aren't for changing how it looks on the monitor while you are flying, but processing after.I shoot professionally for a living with ground based cameras and I shoot S-log as well with LUTS. I primarily use a LUT so the client can see a nice picture on the monitor. It can also help with focusing issues too!
However, from 100 feet in the air I do not see the need for a LUT while shooting with a drone. It's all pre focused on infinity anyway. I do the white balance, check the video levels and select D log, cinema like, art or what have you and go fly. The monitor is really for composition. So what if it's flat, in this instance?
The slog video is still being recorded anyway.
I think using a LUT on a drone is a marketing ploy to get users to buy them.
As I said, I use them for ground shooting but in the air, not needed.
This is my personal opinion and I welcome any thoughts as to why I might need them in the air.

There's not even any way to implement that.
I've yet to see any of these commercial LUTs do a better job than a custom one I make myself for a specific sequence using a screengrab and photoshop.
Interesting, how do you colour grade using a screen grab and photoshop. Okay I get the screen grab a Photoshop bit, bit what then, does it have to be saved a special way? How do you bring that into the video editing suite as a lut?
Meh!
Color grading manually in premiere has always worked much better for me than any LUT. After all I know what the scene really looked like or in other cases how I want it to look like.

If you make your own LUT you are doing it manually, it's a useful way to be able to quickly replicate adjustments which worked well.
But often as not you might as well quickly tweak things fresh each time.
